Talk:Early human migrations

Oregon cave
"Nonetheless, on October 3, 2014, the Oregon cave, where the oldest DNA evidence of human habitation in North America was found, was added to the National Register of Historic Places."

Do those commas belong there?

Doggerland missing from the maps
All the maps of Europe are missing Doggerland, which disappeared somewhere between 10000 and 6000 bc -- see the wikipedia article on the subject for more information.

section: Early northern Africa dispersal
"Populations of Homo sapiens migrated to the Levant and to Europe between 130,000 and 115,000 years ago"
 * evidence of homo sapients that migrated to the Levant, but afaik there is no evidence of homo sapiens to Europe in this time frame. Earliest homo sapiens in Europe may be around 45 000 years ago.

section: Dispersal throughout Eurasia
"Towards the West, Upper Paleolithic populations associated with mitochondrial haplogroup R and its derivatives, spread throughout Asia and Europe, with a back-migration of M1 to North Africa and the Horn of Africa several millennia ago."
 * the way the sentence is structured, makes it seem as if M1 is a descendant haplogroup to mt haplogroup R. Which it is not. Also back-migration of M1 may not be a foregone conclusion. Haplogroup M (mtDNA)

section: Indo-Pacific
"The first seaborne human migrations were by the Austronesian peoples"
 * Wouldn't the Aboriginal Australians be tens of thousands of years earlier?

non-ethnic
"Current (as of 2010) genetic evidence suggests interbreeding took place with Homo sapiens sapiens (anatomically modern humans) between roughly 80,000 to 50,000 years ago in the Middle East, resulting in non-ethnic sub-Saharan Africans having no Neanderthal DNA and Caucasians and Asians having between 1% and 4% Neanderthal DNA.[42]"

What's the non doing there? Shouldn't it be ethnic sub-Saharan Africans to make sense?
